Election Night

Chris Matthews Rips Rudy Giuliani Apart: “Are You Proud?”

With minutes left until the polls closed in several states, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani went on a last-minute blitz on Hardball with Chris Matthews to appeal to MSNBC’s viewers, hoping that he could convince some segment of the population that to vote for Donald Trump. Instead, Chris Matthews condemned him to the pits of political hell.

Though the two had the prerequisite back-and-forth over Hillary Clinton’s emails and Trump’s alleged racism, Giuliani’s continuing obsession over Hillary Clinton’s health made Matthews stop for a second in disgust. “I’ve got to ask you,” he asked. “Are you proud?”

“You're a smart guy. You're a smart politician. I've known you forever,” he continued as Giuliani sputtered. “I didn't think there's anything wrong with you until this campaign. Are you proud of the way you've been so loyal to Trump, that I think you've gone over the top?”

“I think every issue I raised is a legitimate issue. I think that my analysis of her legal problems is spot-on. I think that she has committed a significant number of crimes that she has gotten away with. And I think, throughout their lives, the Clintons have committed a significant number of crimes that they have gotten away with. And I think that's a shame for our criminal justice system,” he continued.
